>>129656388Why were the rest of the who too retarded to get Pete’s idea?
>>129656396it was a retarded idea and concept albums are almost always shit
>>129656396I think it was less a problem of his mates not getting it and more a problem of their audience not getting it. It was a concept that had deep personal resonance for Pete, but as a structured record was never going to click together in that beautiful big-picture way that it must've seemed in his head. Besides, when they tried that experimental live-in concert thing the crowd mostly just wanted to hear the hits.
>>129656388I know there was a recent super deluxe boxset of Who's Next which included a lot of the Lifehouse outtakes/demos. But did it actually reconstruct the album properly? >>129656396Maybe. But they were willing to go along with them because he was their main songwriter.
>>129656427So it was the audience who were retarded?
